Damien Wilkins has been invited to Hawks training camp.

He played with the Sixers last season and made some noise late in the season, but at this point, he'll simply be trying to make an NBA roster. Ignore him on draft night, although it is possible the Hawks are looking at him as a potential replacement for Lou Williams, who has been slow to recover from knee surgery.

Damien Wilkins is still starting for the Sixers, but is playing terribly, missing all seven of his shots on Wednesday to finish with six points and four assists in 23 minutes.

That's three straight games with seven points or less, while Nick Young is suddenly on fire. Make the switch if you need a hot player. Wed, Apr 10, 2013 10:38:00 PM

Damien Wilkins hit just 1-of-5 shots for five points in 22 minutes on Tuesday.

The Nets dominated the game and Wilkins is no longer hot, especially as Nick Young continues to come on for the Sixers. Young had 18 tonight, but as long as Wilkins continues to start for the Sixers, he's still worth a look in some fantasy leagues. Tue, Apr 9, 2013 10:36:00 PM

Damien Wilkins had a quiet game vs. the Heat, scoring seven points on 3-of-10 shooting, with three rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes.

Playing time wasn't an issue tonight, but Nick Young (10 points) logged 21 minutes and he could spoil Wilkins' value if his role continues to increase. Just keep an eye on the situation for now, as Doug Collins seems very fond of the veteran Wilkins. Sat, Apr 6, 2013 10:24:00 PM

Shelvin Mack underwent successful shoulder surgery on Tuesday, and he is expected to make a full recovery in 3-4 months.

Mack owns career-averages of 5.4 points and 2.8 assists on 41.4 percent shooting from the field. He should be ready to go by the start of next year's training camp, but as the third-string point guard in Atlanta, it'll take more than a few injuries for him to gain any sort of relevancy in fantasy leagues. Obviously he's not someone to target on draft day in standard leagues.

Kyle Korver (ankle, elbow) remains hopeful that he will be ready in time for training camp.

"I’m doing OK," Korver said. "Both ankle and elbow are progressing fine. I’m definitely hopeful that they will be ready to go by camp." Korver had surgery on his right elbow and his right ankle, but all signs point to him being ready to start the season. He posted averages of 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.9 3-pointers in 75 appearances last season, and he will once again be an elite option for any owner in need of 3-pointers.

Thabo Sefolosha (ankle) said he's progressing in his rehab, but is unsure of exactly when he'll be back on the court.

Sefolosha said he's feeling better after undergoing surgery on his broken right fibula that he suffered in an April altercation with police in New York City, but still doesn't have a timetable. "I am doing better every day," Sefolosha said. "The leg and ankle are feeling good but it is too early to say exactly when I’ll be back on the court." There is a chance that Sefolosha ends up as Atlanta's starting small forward with DeMarre Carroll gone, but he's still more of a defensive specialist and isn't worth a roster spot in standard fantasy leagues.

He was having another solid game before the injury, scoring six points with five rebounds and one block in 14 minutes. Taveres has a 7'9" wingspan and the Hawks will certainly be hoping they have the next Rudy Gobert on their hands. Of course, Taveres has a lot to prove.
